Chris Buttars, a member of the Utah State Senate, (a glowing beacon of a red state, so maybe I shouldn't be so surprised) has gotten press lately for his defense of marriage comments. What gets me is this is his statement defending himself on his website:
“Despite the recent venom directed at him for defending traditional values, Senator Buttars will never abandon the framework of spiritual and moral values upon which our government was founded. Senator Buttars will continue to stand against the very aggressive special interest groups whose mission is to eliminate all traditional and moral values from government.” (http://www.chrisbuttars.com/home/issues)
This complete and blatant disregard for separation of church and state baffles me. How can an elected official actually say that our government was founded on spiritual and moral values? I want to find this man and do horrible, horrible things to him. Oh, and for the record, we are on the brink of giving Utah one more seat in the House (http://www.sltrib.com/ci_11793280).
